'Outstanding Bar' - St. Johns County Bar Association

"We have an outstanding Bar," said Megan Wall of St. Johns County Legal Aid...and she was not referring to the beverages served at the local Bar Association event. She and area judges were there to talk about the importance of access to justice regardless of income.

When SJC Legal Aid says, "and justice for all," they mean it. Their motto is, "A wealth of justice for those who have neither," and along with the SJC Bar Association they offer legal advice, pro se classes, and in some cases representation for low-income, disabled, and elderly clients.

Many people are unaware of their legal rights and options, and many are unable to afford a lawyer and may not know about the legal aid program in this area. Furthermore, even if you do not qualify for Legal Aid services, Legal Aid has many helpful pamphlets or they can refer you to an attorney.
